相變材料

相變材料（英語：phase change material，縮寫為：PCM）是指在相變時放出或吸收大量熱，以達到加熱或降溫作用的物質。通常情況下，該物質將在液態和固態間進行轉變，但也可以在非傳統狀態間進行轉變，例如從一種結晶態轉變為能量更高或更低的另一種結晶態。

圖為乙酸鈉加熱墊（英語：heating pad），當乙酸鈉溶液晶化時，放出大量熱。

相變材料物質狀態改變時所需的熔化熱通常遠大於其顯熱（英語：sensible heat），相變溫度（PCT）附近融化和凝固時，相變材料可以儲存和釋放巨大的能量。例如，冰融化成水的熔化熱為333.55 J/g，即一克冰需要吸收333.55 J熱量才能融化成水。然而一克水吸收4.18 J熱量溫度升高1度。因此水/冰是一種非常有用的相變材料，自阿契美尼德王朝開始人們就用它在冬天釋放熱量，在夏天給房子降溫。

相變材料可按組成物質種類進行分類。有機相變材料通常從石油、植物或動物上提取，水合鹽相變材料通常由海水或礦物中提取。還有一類是固體轉變為固體的相變材料。他們在生活中有着廣泛的應用，加熱墊、電話配電箱冷卻和服飾製造等都可以看到相變材料的身影。

特性和分類

液體→固體、固體→液體、固體→氣體和液體→氣體的變化過程均可儲存潛熱，但只有液體→固體和固體→液體變化過程較為現實。儘管液體→氣體過程中轉換的熱量更多，但是氣態體積較大，存儲需要高壓，不易於使用。固態→固態的轉變速度十分緩慢，轉換的熱量相對較少。

固態-液態相變材料在達到相變溫度前，其特性與顯熱（英語：sensible heat）儲存材料相似，吸收熱量的同時溫度逐漸上升。但是當到達相變溫度（熔點）時，開始大量吸收熱量，但是溫度保持不變，材料完全融化後，溫度繼續上升。當液態材料所處環境溫度下降時便開始凝固，釋放其所儲存的潛熱。各種相變材料可供選擇，−5到190 °C之間任意相變溫度均有對應。^[1]而在20-30 °C人體舒適溫度範圍內，有些材料潛熱吸收十分高效，可以達到200 kJ/kg，與之對應的石料的熱容一般為1 kJ/kg.°C，因此保持相同溫度時每千克材料吸收的熱量是石料的200倍。^[2]水的比熱容為4.21 kJ/kg.°C，該材料存儲密度為水的12.5倍至50倍之間。
